Tricuspid stenosis is an uncommon valvular abnormality that most commonly occurs in association with other valvular lesions.

Regurgitation caused not by valvular disorder but by dilatation of ventricles, the great vessels, or valve rings.

Tricuspid Regurgitation A backflow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium.

 

TRICUSPID STENOSIS is a narrowing of the tri­cuspid valve.

• There is usually tricuspid regurgitation associated with TS.

 

Symptoms

 

 

• There are features of mitral stenosis like dyspnoea, hemoptysis etc.
• When TS develops in a patient of mitral stenosis, there is lessening of symptoms like dyspnoea. Relief of symptoms occurs because, due to development ofTS the RV output decreases, and therefore pulmonary congestion is lesser.

DIAGNOSISBacterial Infections by Gram-Negative with diagnosis Treatment Signs and symptoms. Read more ... » —

 

• Aside from systemic venous congestion, the symptoms and findings on physical and laboratory examination largely depend upon the presence and severity of associated aortic and/or mitral valve disease.
• In the absence of mitral valve disease, such findings are generally well out of proportion to dyspnea;

• As a result of valvular stenosis, there is a persistent diastolic pressure gradient between the right atrium and right ventricle.

 

ETIOLOGY —

 

• Tricuspid stenosis is most commonly of rheumatic etiology; the majority of cases present with tricuspid regurgitation or a combination of regurgitation and stenosis

• Congenital atresia or stenosis of the valve  .
• Right atrial or metastatic tumors.

 

TRICUSPID REGURGITATION is a leak of blood back into the right atrium during right ventricu­lar systole.

 

 

 

Functional TR

 

• TR is most commonly functional due to dilatation of the tricuspid annulus as in mitral steno­sis and inferior wall infarction.

Investigations

 

 

ECG :

 

• There is RVH.

 

Echocardiography :

 

• TR and its etiology may be seen. Pulmonary artery pressure is estimated which may be high.

 

Tricuspid Regurgitation Treatment .

 

 

• Treat the underlying cause.
• Tricuspid valve re­pair and replacement are usually not required.
